** 14 Day Chimp and Gorilla Safari to Uganda and Rwanda - From $6,875.00

These are two countries that are still unspoiled by tourism and where you explore the forested areas for chimpanzees and Mountain gorillas. Uganda, "The Pearl of Africa", is situated astride the Equator and boasts a wide and diverse landscape - from rugged, snow-capped mountains to the vast flat lands. Mountain gorilla trekking in Volcanoes National Park (Parc National des Volcans) is by far Rwanda's major international attraction. After the release of the feature film, Gorillas in the Mist, about the late Dian Fossey's pioneering work habituating the gorillas, interest in gorilla trekking reached new heights.
